5Text Programming

The register allows you to program text for clerk names, department item names, PLU/UPCs item names, if necessary. There are two ways for programming text: using character keys on the keyboard or entering character codes with numeric keys on the keyboard.

Using character keys on the keyboard

You can enter characters according to the small figures printed in the lower right position of the tops. For the layout, please refer to “Keyboard” section on page 6.

The following are used as control keys for character entry:

HToggles between upper-case and lower-case letters. By default, the upper-case letter is selected. Once the Hkey is pressed, you are locked in for entering lower-case letters. “a” is displayed when lower-case letters entry is selected as shown in the operator display example below.

NPress the Nkey to enter numeric characters. For example to enter “1”, press the Nand 1 key. If you press the 1key without pressing the Nkey, the cash register goes to character codes entry mode. Once the Nkey is pressed, you are locked in for entering numeric characters. “1” is displayed when numeric characters entry is selected as shown in the operator display example below.

WToggles between single-size and double-size characters. By default, the single-size character is selected. Once the Wkey is pressed, you are locked in for entering double size characters. “W” is displayed when double-size characters entry is selected as shown in the operator display example
